Brushing your teeth is the first step in protecting your dental health,
but it must be done correctly to be truly effective. You should brush
your teeth for 2 minutes, twice a day, whether you use an electric toothbrush
or a regular toothbrush. Watch this short American Dental Association
video to learn more about how brushing your teeth affects
your dental health near Puyallup, WA.

Whether you use a regular toothbrush or an electric version, make sure
your brushing habits are done correctly. Brushing your teeth in a circular
motion for 2 minutes is effective enough to remove the bacteria and plaque
that grows every day. If you have difficulty holding a toothbrush or keeping
track of the time, then you may choose an electric version that has a
timer and will move the bristles in the correct motion. Speak with your
Puyallup dentist if you have more questions.
